1. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Radar now totally inaccurate. Is it now AI or computer generated rather than radar?

2. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Me. Too many ads. Can’t even read the info.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   What have you done!?. The latest upgrade destroyed a great app. The radar on the home tab is 2 hours behind the radar on the radar tab, the temperature reading is 12 degrees hotter than 7 local thermometers that all agree ( 48 degrees locally vs 60 degrees on the app), and the traffic map only shows metro Savannah and 50 miles of ocean. Yes I know the thermometers are not calibrated and NOAA certified installations, but a 12 degree error is a LOT.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Constant Crasher. App crashes nearly every time it is used. Very glitchy.

5. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Annoying. Riddled with AI generated/political/scam ads and constantly gives me notifications about Savannah, Georgia that I cannot turn off.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Rain. The app shows its not raining but it is raining were I am. Very unreliable! Going to find another app!

7. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Broken. What is wrong with this app? No temp, no hourly temps, etc. is this app still supported? 2/20/25

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Radar Issue. What is the purpose of the 24hr radar, if the radar doesn’t extend past 12hrs. The Timelapse continues, however, the actual radar stops moving at the 12hr mark. It’s been this way for several months now.

9. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   I’m ready to sue at this point. This app is so inaccurate everywhere I go it says there is rain in the area but no rain where I am, while we are driving through rain.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    WTOC Radar. The radar does not work since the last upgrade. Please have it fixed.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Confused. Feel the app is lacking lately. Seems to me that the hourly and daily forecast do not jibe to often anymore. Makes things confusing when using the app for work related things. Could be just me?

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Incompetent. These people should get a job they are good at, and it’s not forecasting the weather!

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Terrible. Never seems to be right

14. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    I had to delete it.. I liked his app back when it worked. Now after this last update it won’t play any of the videos and the weather map doesn’t load or play at all.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Used to be good. The latest update has killed this app. It won’t even open now

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    WTOC. Weather app is good on iPhone but useless on iPad

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No map?. The map doesn't show location, only a black screen. Also, "Future" time on forecast is way off.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Bad update. I have been using this app for a long time, I do not like the new format and am looking for a new weather app

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Hope it’s an unintended change. For years the past and future radar picture was provided. This update only provides past or the future radar maps not the combo.

20. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Inaccurate. The radar is always inaccurate. If it’s cloudy and you plan on grilling, you’ll probably get rained on when the radar says there won’t be any rain. Temps are normally inaccurate as well.

21. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Ads. We are forced to watch ads from the television. Ads on apps are so annoying.

22. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Too many ads. So many advertisements I have to constantly dig behind and fight to find what I want. Your competition doesn’t do that. I’ll stick with them.

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    So frustrating!. This app continually informs me I must connect to wifi even though I am connected. It should use my data regardless. Will not pull up radar...when I need to see what’s happening with the weather it would be nice to have an app that works!

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Needs iPad and iPhone x optimization. Don’t understand how the news app is optimized but the weather app isn’t. Will change rating once it’s optimized for both the iPad and iPhone X, until then will delete and use another weather app for local support. Smh, again news app decent and optimized weather app nope. Makes sense right.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Unhappy. Had to remove app because my phone is too old for the latest app update. Very upset because I do use the app all the time.

26. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Annoying ads. Good weather app. But had to remove app cause of its very intrusive ads. Much too difficult reading the weather because of full page pop-up ads.

27. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ginny D. I use the app I’m all the time. Only one complaint. When no I use the 24 hr radar. The last part stops moving. It’s like it gets froze The bar under the radar is still moving I but the radar is not.

28. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I’m going back to Georgia tomorrow morning and I will send you a picture of my new dog when. What are you doing for dinner tonight I don’t have any plans tonight but I will be there tonight

29. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    It’s okay, but…. Lately this app has not been that great. We will get alerts for things that are not even nearby, but when an actual severe weather event takes place in the area where we live, we won’t get an alert. If we do get an alert it’s nearly 30 minutes after poo hits the fan. There have been straight up lightning strikes on our trees in the neighborhood, tornado sirens going off in our area, and random bursts of hail raining down and no alerts before or after the fact about any severe weather coming through. I recommend that if any one uses this app for alerts, to get another back up one just in case.

30. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Slow. The app is very slow. Takes forever to load anything. I also hate when I click away from it for 5 seconds, reopen the app, and it reloads everything. Which then takes me another 5 minutes to get back to where I was. So annoying. I really like the alerts and thing they are definitely a plus. Really the only reason I’m giving it 3 starts. It also takes forever for any videos to load.
